Coverage includes information origins of the chemical bond, unbiased definition of molecular fragments, adequate entropic measures of their internal (intra-fragment) and external (inter-fragment) bond-orders and valence-numbers, descriptors of their chemical reactivity, and information criteria of their similarity and independence. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eInformation Theory of Molecular Systems\u003c\/b\u003e is recommended to graduate students and researchers interested in fresh ideas in the theory of electronic structure and chemical reactivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roman F.
